Haider Ackermann and Jil
Sander will be special guests at the next
Pitti. The Colombian designer will show his
women's pre-collection at the sixth edition of W_Precollections;
the label designed by Raf Simons, instead, will be
the protagonist of Pitti Uomo 78. The events,
which will take place from June 15th-18th will be an open and free
platform for these two designers, who are keeping quiet about their
upcoming presentations. "I received this invitation," says
Ackermann, "with a carte blanche, by which I was
free to create a special project for this event." Complete freedom
of expression was given to Raf Simons as well. "We are very
pleased," says Lapo Cianchi, the director of
communications and events of Pitti Immagine, "that
Haider Ackermann and Jil Sander
have accepted our invitation because they both are very skilled at
expressing the elaboration of an original thought into fashion,
which is what we look for when we work with fashion designers."
